One of the big hangups that has made Hulk’s MCU tenure a tad disappointing is the rights debacle. Not only does Universal have the power of first refusal when it comes to projects relating to the character, but the bulk of the profits from any endeavor led by Hulk would go straight into Universal’s pocket. Thus, he’s been relegated to a supporting character since 2008, embarking on smaller side stories of his own from time to time. Although, if the Hulk rights have or will soon fall into Marvel Studios’ hands, we could finally see some of Hulk’s biggest storylines properly come to fruition.
With a Marvel Comics history dating back to the early 1960s, it’s safe to say his cinematic potential is near limitless. Fans are especially keen on an adaptation of the “World War Hulk” story, where a powerful and vengeful Hulk returns to Earth from the planet Sakaar to crush those he feels are responsible for the death of his wife. Then again, a “Thor: Ragnarok” prequel exploring his life on Sakaar à la “Planet Hulk” could be cool too. Maybe the MCU’s Hulk could even clash with his villainous and dangerous self from another timeline known as the Maestro. After all, anything is possible in the Multiverse Saga.

If you’re a Hulk fan and are hoping to see more of him in the MCU, hopefully, you won’t have to wait much longer for him to get a proper spotlight all his own after so long.
